Growing a BuddyPress community without data means guessing about what is working. BuddyPress Statistics builds a detailed activity log tracking member counts, active users, status updates, groups, posts, and engagement trends. Stats display on user profiles, group pages, and admin views, with sorting and widget options to surface the numbers that matter.
Refreshed admin experience with a streamlined card-based layout. Overview, Analytics, Users, Activity Log, Settings, and License all share one consistent panel.
Faster navigation - the horizontal tabs are reorganized into 6 sidebar tabs, with sub-sections for Analytics and Settings.
Plain-language settings labels throughout, so options read the way you'd describe them.
Accessible in-page confirmations replace browser pop-ups for sensitive actions like resetting the activity log or running a full reindex.
Dark-mode support across BuddyX, BuddyBoss Readylaunch, and BuddyBoss classic themes.
License page now shows your license expiry date and renewal status inline.
Fix
Removed a duplicate hourly cache-warmer schedule.
Removed the redundant "General" submenu entry beneath "WB Plugins".
Security
Admin and public actions now verify both a security token and the user's permissions, closing a gap where logged-in members could trigger admin-only chart data.
Group statistics now check group membership before returning data for private groups.
Compat
Your existing settings, license key, activity log, widgets, shortcodes, and scheduled tasks all carry over unchanged. Old admin bookmarks continue to work automatically.
